WebAssign is an online, machine-graded homework system that also includes a digital copy of the textbook. You are required to purchase a WebAssign license.
WebAssign will be available directly through the Brightspace course site. No class key is needed.
Your username is your school email address. For the first time user, please register with your netid@nyu.edu.
WebAssign problems are computational in nature and assess the techniques introduced in class. You will get immediate feedback on your progress and will get several chances to solve the problem and approach the correct answer.
You will have up to five submissions (except for T/F questions and multiple choice questions) for each problem and receive immediate feedback on their inputs. Some questions in WebAssign contain “video tutorials” that explain how to solve the corresponding type of question, and a “practice more” feature that generates more practice exercises of the same type to ensure your full understanding.

Follett Access Details
Our course is participating in the Follett Access program. This is an NYU Bookstore initiative that delivers required course materials at the lowest possible price.
The book, Precalculus by Stewart will be delivered to you digitally through the WebAssign platform. The cost of the book is $82.50, which will be added as a “book charge” to your bursar bill, this is a savings of $22.50 over the publisher’s list price. The charge will post to your bursar account on August 18th or after you have registered to the course. The WebAssign code is for single-term access. It includes all of the homework questions and the eBook.
Should you choose to remove yourself from the program and find your course materials elsewhere, you must login here to the student portal and opt out of having the course materials provided to you by September 16th. If you have opted out in a previous semester you will need to opt out again. If you paid through ACCESS in a previous semester the charge will drop off at the end of the opt out period.
